    3. Acoustic Analysis with COMET FEA VIBRATION ANALYSIS Generate structural model Run FEA program Compute surface velocities

    6. Concern Determination of sub-system (panel) contribution to the noise Use panel acoustic contribution analysis Associates the vibration of a panel to noise Transfer function Identify the type of contribution Negative, Positive, Neutral Make design changes

    7. Physical Interpretation

    9. Experimental Data Numerical determination of vibration data is limited to less than 200 Hz Use of experimental data allows the analysis to be carried at higher frequencies - 600 Hz COMET allows import of experimental data Used successfully by a major automobile company Sport utility vehicle Weight reduction of 10 lb. Reduction in sound level of 2 dB Development of vehicle for Asian-Pacific region Weight reduction of 1.3 lb. Sound level reduction of 6 dB

    10. Summary Identification of solutions not intuitively obvious PACA provides a systematic process for noise reduction Can be combined with experimental data Numerical determination of vibration data is limited to less than 200 Hz Use of experimental data allows the analysis to be performed at higher frequencies - 600 Hz COMET allows import of experimental data Used successfully by a major automobile manufacturer

    12. Porous Media Material utilizes multiple phenomena to minimize reflected or transmitted sound energy solid phase (the structure of the material) fluid phase (the fluid fills the holes) interactive between the above Primarily used to dissipate energy damping (viscous, structural, thermal) Examples of porous materials Glass fiber, Mineral wool, Partially open or open cells foams Typical applications Mufflers and ducts Vehicle sound insulation Aerospace structure sound insulation Seals

    13. Foam sandwiched by aluminum panel and air on both sides Boundary condition free panel edge condition impedance + velocity on one end impedance on the other end impedance = Double Panel TL

    14. Double Panel TL Unbounded connection between foam and aluminum panel Good correlation between theoretical (infinite plate) and SAFE results Infinite plate theory applicable

    15. Effect of Bond One of the plates is bonded to foam Poor correlation between theoretical (infinite plate) and SAFE results Good correlation between SAFE and experimental results Usage of glue increases stiffness - increase in TL

    16. Summary Models Sound Propagation Poroelastic, fluid, structural and solid domains Coupled and Uncoupled 2D, 3D, Axi-symmetric Frequency response, Modal Analysis Provides a powerful tool for the design of optimal modern noise control treatments Used in headliners, seats, carpets, trim lining, panel damping, aircraft skin insulation, wall insulation, enclosure liners, etc.

    18. Concern Objective Perform many design iterations by rapidly determining acoustic characteristics Analysis Aim Associate a single parameter with each design Computational Procedure Vibrational characteristic from FEA, Test, NAH Acoustic analysis using enhanced Rayleigh method Important Criteria Not actual sound level Variation of sound level from one design to another

    19. Analysis Process Identify the frequency range of interest Compute structural modes Select number of frequencies in the vicinity of the structural mode For each frequency Get surface velocity from structural analysis Compute sound power Enhanced Rayleigh Method

    20. Design Iteration Compute sound power for the mode Add sound power for each frequency Compute sound power for the system Add power for all modes Make design changes Panel acoustic contribution analysis Sensitivity analysis Iterate until desired solution is obtained Perform the final analysis using standard methodology e.g. BEM, Test
